For thirty years, traveler and photographer Elaine Ling traversed four continents with her 4x5 camera loaded with the now extinct Polaroid 55 PN film to document ancient natural and manmade stones. Her goal was to gather the stories these mysterious architectural wonders tell us about the vanished cultures of our human ancestors and nature itself. Talking Stones: A Photographic Sojourn published by Kehrer Verlag, Spring 2016, gathers images chosen by Ling from her journeys. Pictured: Mano del Desierto, Atacama Desert, Chile, 2001.
